Chapter 1. Introducing the Lanner Cave Creek
Acceleration Modules
Lanner’ products which utilize Intel Cave Creek technology include network modules
NCS-IGM427A/B and PCIe acceleration card AV-ICE01. These modules utilize the
latest Intel® Communications Chipset 89xx Series silicon and are designed to
efficiently increase performance for communications infrastructure systems.
More specifically, they are I/O interfaces with Intel QuickAssist Accelerator to optimize
I/O performance on data compression and encryption on platforms powered by Intel
Xeon and Core Processors.
This document provides information on how to quickly set up an environment and build
and install the QuickAssist software.
For each supported acceleration service (Cryptographic, Data Compression), the
following client access usage models are supported:
z Kernel mode, where both the client and the service(s) are running in kernel space.
z Direct user space access to services running in user space. In this model, both the
client and service(s) are running in user space and access to the hardware is also
performed from user space.
The Intel® Communications Chipset 89xx Series Software for Linux has been
validated with Fedora 16 32-bit and x86_64.
Note:
1. This document is written based on Intel® Communications Chipset 89xx
Series Software for Linux package DH89xxCC.L.1.0.1-15. Other software
versions may have features or porting guides that are different from those
